I took this class online and I literally never communicated with the prof. lol Homework was too easy (5 attempts per Q) and you can find solutions from google. The only hard thing was finding the campus in downtown for final exam :( He didn't give us correct address. I spent two hours looking for the building and Exam was easy.

He emphasizes that nothing can be taken to the final. When you go to the testing center, you're told you could use one page of notes and any calculator. No reviews for finals; class is just a paycheck to him. Honestly, myitlab is just the course, you're basically paying to teach yourself. Google helps with tests/hw but weight is less than final.
